Every Filipino band doing USO shows in Viet Nam played it, including having all the band members walk off stage while the drummer did the extended solo.

Not music related but an icon in his own right. Baseball legend Willie Mays passed awat at 93.

Arguably the greatest all-around player ever. Great defensive center fielder, great base runner, hit for average, hit for power. RIP to the “Say Hey Kid.”

Though not a musician, Donald Sutherland was one of the greatest actors of the past 60-odd years.

Hey Rick @stitch & Toby @TheMadman_tobyjenner ,
There’s still a lot of Canadians out there singing & playing music…
K.D. Lang, Barenaked Ladies, Terri Clark, Alessia Cara, Nelly Furtado, Anne Murray, Loverboy (yes, they’re still touring!), Bryan Adams, Shawn Mendes, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morisette, The Weeknd, Shania Twain, Drake… even Celine Dion. Canada’s legacy includes The Guess Who, Jonie Mitchell, Neil Young, Rush, The Band, Gordon Lightfoot & Hank Snow! Even Michael Buble!!!
I’m not even Canadian… there’s probably a bunch more that I’d know if I were a Canuck!!!

Hate to tell you this but eveyone on that list is either over 60 or pretty close to it.
Joni Mitchell is 80, Neil Young is 78 and the younger of the crowd who is from my home province KD Lang is 63.
Robbie Robertson of the band died last Aug, Gordon Lightfoot died in May, Neil Peart of Rush has past. I could keep going on. Like I said we’re running out of celebrities.
Shawn Mendez is still a youngster at 25 so maybe theres hope.

Kinky Friedman (& the Texas Jewboys)
I saw the Kinkster play in a pub in Dublin back in the nineties. Funny guy. Very affable.
He was also an author and politician.
Here’s a clip with some storytelling followed by the song Ride ’em Jewboy about 5 minutes in.
Being an extrovert Jew from Texas, he has some very politically incorrect songs such as A**hole from El Paso and They don’t make Jews like Jesus anymore
“Find what you like in life- and let it kill you”
“Jesus loves you can be very comforting- unless you’re in a Mexican jail”
RIP Kinky Friedman
